A senior Hamas official told AFP on Tuesday the group was no longer interested in truce talks with Israel after Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday announced a new “intensified” offensive in Gaza that will involve Israeli troops holding on to seized territory and significant displacement of the population.

“There is no sense in engaging in talks or considering new ceasefire proposals as long as the hunger war and extermination war continue in the Gaza Strip,” Basem Naim told the news agency, urging the international community “to pressure the Netanyahu government to end the crimes of hunger, thirst, and killings” in Gaza.

His comments come a day after Israel’s military said expanded operations in Gaza would include displacing “most” of its residents, and amid Israeli strikes on Yemen and Lebanon.

This will surely go well. Bibi is doing the same thing as Trump and seeing how far he can push before everything fails spectacularly.

that's an interesting title because clearly israel is not interested in a truce either, and that's been the case for a very long time now

No one's really on the right side here. Not killing each other is the correct course of action.

True, "not killing each other" is a great basis for things.

Though when there's an oppressor and those being oppressed, as a rule I'm going to side with the oppressed.

"It's been 3 months since we cut off all food and medicine to the civilians in your territory. Next we're going to fully occupy your territory, and kill you and anyone we assert is part of you. Hey wait, what do you mean you won't negotiate with us?"

There is some absurdity to this. I'm trying to stay above the fray.
